The 'Sensible Centre': Smart Politics or Pure Cowardice? With Richard Denniss

Think calling yourself a centrist makes you sensible? Economist Richard Denniss says it's actually the greatest con in politics - a trick that lets our leaders dodge hard decisions while serving powerful interests. We break down how 'radical centrism' keeps the status quo alive, and how punters can see through the smokescreen. Plus, we've got fundraiser updates, and a call out for your cheap ways to look rich ideas... give us a good one and we might get you on the pod.
